Deo_volente Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 So i spent a while making a profile that i would like to start when my screensaver kicks in but as far as i can tell i can only link a profile to start on a .exe file where as the screensaver extension is .scr . Is it possible or am i gonna have to hope they will include the feature to start on screensaver in a later version of the CUE. :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaynMaykr Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is it possible to have a profile start on system start up? Then finish and settle on something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craseder Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah I'd like to do the same thing with mine. One idea that I came up with was to set another executable as the condition, and someone else suggested doing that through the task scheduler.

blurryphoenix Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I came up with some sort of a solution, but it only triggers on Preview of the screensaver, not when the screensaver triggers after X minutes. http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132257 One idea that I came up with was to set another executable as the condition, and someone else suggested doing that through the task scheduler. The keyboard DOES recognize .scr files, but you will need to manually enter it instead of selecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieF430 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I have it on my keyboard my file location C:\Windows\System32\ssText3d.scr. Works on preview and the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a play around and you could be on to something. I edited the profile and browsed to C:\Windows\System32 (as i use the same screensaver) and manually typed ribbons.scr and clicked open file which set it as the path for the CUE profile. I first set the screensaver to kick in after after 1 min just for testing and sure enough it kicked in as ribbons started. Then i just did a quick test and set it to 15 mins and it once again kicked in when ribbons started.Just off to do another test to make sure it wasn't just a fluke. This may be a daft question but did you have auto profile switching on when you tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing to question, but I did the 1 min test immediately after I did a preview of it, and it didn't trigger at that time (and still won't). Could you let me know what OS you're running, software version, and what firmware? Maybe there could be a discrepancy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deo_volente Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 OS is win7 firmware is 1.12 as for software version i just have whatever version was on the corsair site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blurryphoenix Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Weird, because I have 1.12 firmware as well, but I'm running Win 8.1... So MAYBE that could do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
